Few things are better on a hot day than sitting outside and sipping on a cool drink. Unfortunately, most cheap outdoor furniture doesn't come with the essential cup holder, but Instructables user lime3D shows a simple way to add cup holders to plastic furniture using repurposed cake frosting containers.

You need a 16 ounce cake frosting container, a marker, drill, and a jigsaw to add the cup holders. The process is as easy as tracing the button of the frosting container and then cutting it out with the jigsaw. When you're done, slide the frosting container into the hole and you have a new cup holder. The guide details adding the cup holders to an Adirandack-style chair (like this), but could easily be applied to pretty much any piece of plastic outdoor furniture with a wide arm rest. Head over to Instructables for Lime3D's full guide.
